Lawyers
for Mr. Gurlitt, representatives of the state of Bavaria, and the
German federal government agreed that a government-appointed team of
international experts had one year in which to investigate the works
seized from Mr. Gurlitt’s Munich apartment in 2012.

Among the works is a well-known Matisse painting that the descendants of
Paul Rosenberg, a French art dealer, said was taken from their family
by the Nazis. The picture, “Seated Woman/Woman Sitting in Armchair,” was
among the first to be identified by claimants seeking the return of the
picture.
